Well here’s what happens when you drive too fast and don’t have “clearance awareness”
(Remember it’s not always about how
high the load is)
This driver and pilot car failed to take into account the former rail road grade at this town in Iowa today, the speed limit here is also 20 mph, if you look at the skid marks behind the tractor you can surmise that the driver was going much faster than that (I’ve seen trucks easily going 40 mph through here) pretty stupid considering there’s a stop light at the bottom of this hill.
When I took these photos the driver had already backed up about 10-15 feet to free the tower from the road, look closely in one of the pics and you can see where the tower scraped the pavement.
